METHOD OF MAKING APPAREL-COLLARS.

SPECIFICATION up during the operation of laundering.

My invention consists in the improved method of forming and securing the ply or filling of an apparel-collar and the other parts together, as follows: I cut from the fabric a plyblank of substantially twice the size of the collar in length and width, and of the form substantially as shown in Figure 1 of the drawings.. This ply-blank is thenfolded longitudinally in the middle to produce two thicknesses of ply. The collar-blanks are then cut in the form and placed between the plies, with the outer edges of the facings abutting the fold-line of the plies, and the parts so arranged sewed along the fold-edge of the ply and inserted facings and at the ends of the collar, as seen in Fig. 2 of the drawings. The blanks are now turned through the unsewed bottom opening, to bring the facings on the outside. The edges of the bottom are then turned in, and the collar completed by a line of stitches extending entirely about its edges, as seen in Fig. 4 of the drawings.

Accompanying this specification, to form a part'of it, there is a sheet of drawings containing five figures illustrating my invention, with the same designation of its parts by letter-reference used in all of them.

Of the illustrations, Fig. 1 shows a plan View of the ply-blank with its longitudinal fold-line indicated by a dotted line. Fig. 2 illustrates the ply-blank as folded longitudinally, so as to embrace the two facings, and showing aline of stitching made along the fold line to embrace the outer edge of the facings. Fig. 3 shows a cross-section of the parts illustrated at Fig. 2, taken on the line m'w of Fig.

forming part of Letters Patent No. 371,723, dated October 18, 1887.

Application filed May 23, 1887. Serial No. 239,065. (No model.)

2. Fig. 4 shows the completed collar, and Fig. 5 a cross-section of the same, taken on the line 0; of Fig. 4:.

The several parts of the collar thus illustrated are designated by letter-reference, and the function of the parts is described as follows:

The letters P indicate the ply-bank, which is cut in one piece, so that when folded longitudinally at d, as indicated by the dotted line of Fig. 1, it forms two thicknesses of the ply or filling designated at p one edge of the ply-blank being cut with tab ends t, and the other edge without'them.

The letters F F" designate the exterior facings of the collar, on each end of which are formed the tab ends t.

The parts are connected as follows: The longitudinal fold d being made in the ply-blank P, there are produced the two ply thicknesses p 1). Between the latter are placed the two facings F Fhwith their surfaces together, and their upper edges, 6', close up within the plyfold made at d, as shown at Figs. 2 and 3. With the parts thus placed, a line of stitching, S, is run along the upper edge of the collar, passing through the embracing-folds of the ply and the intermediately-placed upper edges of the facings and the end edges of the facings and ply, as indicated at S and around the tab ends, as at S". After this has been done then the attached parts are turned through the open bottom B, so as to bring the facings F F to the outside. Then the downwardly subtending bottom edges of the facings are turned in and the collar is closed at the bottom edge by the seam S, after which the whole collar-body is border-stitched, as indicated at S As thus made the ply is securely anchored to the fac ing at the edges, and so that it cannot become loosened in laundering. If desired, both of 0 the end edges of the double ply-blank may be out without tab ends, or tab ends may be out upon both of the end edges of the double plyblank.

Having thus described my invention,what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, m

The method herein described of making and completing an apparelcollar, which consists in cu'ttingaply-blank of fabric of substantially I00 together bya line of stitches through the foldtwice the size of the collar, then folding said of stitches about the entire edges of the collar, IO blank in the longitudinal middle, then insertsubstantially as specified.
